Motorola Morrison photo

A new leaked image of the upcoming Motorola Morrison handset reveals the device will be running on the open-source Android OS from Google, as the image shows the device powered up. The source of the leak maintains working prototypes of the new Motorola handset are out there, and T-Mobile logos on the handset corroborate an earlier report regarding the handset.

The latest photo also shows three hardware buttons, one for back, another for home and the last believed to be dedicated for answering or starting calls or accessing the main menu. Unlike previous image leaks, the new one also shows a black and blue handset as opposed to a white and blue color combination.

Despite the new image, there is still no indication on release dates or pricing, though the Morrison is expected to arrive before year's end. [viaPhandroid]
